Today would have been my dad’s 59th birthday. In June of 2016, my dad died at the age of 57 from a heart attack. I often had told him how terrified I was that one day he may have a heart attack because of his diet. He ate the standard western diet that was filled of animal products, saturated fat and cholesterol. After my dad died I decided that I wanted to do something to honor him and to help other people and that is when I became certified in plant-based nutrition. I now educate the community about the benefits of a whole foods plant-based diet in hopes that it may save someone else’s life since it was too late for me to save my dad’s. I miss my dad terribly but every time I get up and stand in front of a group of people and talk about a Whole Foods Plant-Based lifestyle, I feel a little bit closer to him. Miss you, Dad. xoxo According to the CDC: Heart Disease Facts
Dr. Caldwell Esselstyn of the Cleveland Clinic has scientifically proven that a whole foods plant-based diet without added oil can not only prevent, but can potentially reverse heart disease. This is huge!

We all miss dad so very much every day. We taught our children to be good people and to always stand up for what you believe and is right. You are so loved! XO
